Dear So and So

[Veronica]

Dear Self,

You need to get back into your workout routine ASAP. That will do wonders for your stress level. You need to let go of the things you can't control - stupid A$$ control freak that you are! You are doing an awesome job in your classroom and that's all you can do. The expectation that you can somehow get your peers to replicate your success is ridiculous. They don't have the same attitude you do and so what works for you, won't work for them.

Stop focusing so much attention on your distracting kids. They can't control what they are doing and their parents need to see that this lack of control is hurting their kids academic growth. Until they realize that, nothing will change.

This built up anger and resentment you have is only going to hurt you in the long run.
